The Book of Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy (Hebrew דברים devarìm, "words", from the incipit; Greek Δευτερονόμιο, deuteronòmio, "second law", for the compendium, the repetition of laws already present in Exodus and in general of what is written on the Pentateuch, in the first Books of the written Torah; Latin Deuteronomium) is the fifth book of the Hebrew Torah and of the Christian Bible.

It is written in Hebrew and, according to the hypothesis most shared by scholars, its final editing, by unknown authors, is placed in the sixth-fifth century BC in Judea, on the basis of previous oral and written traditions, in particular of the so-called Deuteronomist source of the seventh century BC.

It consists of 34 chapters describing the history of the Jews during their sojourn in the Sinai Desert (about 1200 BC) and contains various religious and social laws.
